| Obverse description | The official Seal of the Republic of the Marshall Islands occupies the central field, depicting a frigatebird with outstretched wings superimposed over a traditional Marshallese stick chart navigation map, flanked by a traditional outrigger sailing canoe to the right and a thatched dwelling amid palm trees to the left, beneath a radiant sun with crossed navigational staffs above. Two atolls appear at upper left and upper right. A scroll at the base bears the word SEAL. The outer legend reads REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS along the upper periphery and JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN along the lower, with the denomination 50 and date 1998 flanking the central device. The entire design is encircled by a decorative chain border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a highly detailed high-relief rendering of the Japanese Imperial Navy battleship Yamato listing heavily to starboard and in the process of sinking, her hull breaking the turbulent ocean surface at a dramatic angle. Waves rendered in fine relief surround the stricken vessel, and a small aircraft silhouette appears in the upper field. The legend YAMATO is inscribed in uppercase Latin letters along the upper periphery, while the denomination 50 DOLLARS appears in the lower right field. |
